African-American Food and Vendor Day takes place today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons. The event features free samples of African-American food, displays exhibiting the wares of African-American entrepreneurs and music by DJ Yinka.

LLCC is celebrating African-American History Month during February with various events. Black resistance is the theme for this year’s observance and draws from a Frederick Douglass quote, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

Events are free and open to the public and will be held at LLCC’s Springfield campus. The LLCC African-American History Month Committee and LLCC Student Life are event co-sponsors.
